Maono has expanded its hybrid audio portfolio with the launch of the Maono P Series, a new range of USB audio interfaces built specifically for creators who work across laptops, smartphones, tablets, cameras and livestreaming setups. The series brings together the wireless flexibility Maono is known for with wired-level professional performance, addressing a market where more podcasters, musicians and streamers need to move fluidly between devices without sacrificing audio quality.
A hybrid approach to multi-device creation
The Maono P Series comprises two models, the P1 and P2, both offering high-resolution 24-bit/192kHz audio, USB OTG mobile connectivity and low-noise preamps. The P1 delivers up to 70dB of gain with an EIN of -130.6dB, making it well suited to gain-hungry dynamic microphones, while the P2 offers up to 56dB gain at -129.5dB EIN across two combo inputs for multi-person recording. Both interfaces include stereo loopback with three channels, letting creators capture system audio and microphone input simultaneously for livestreaming, gaming or content production.
P1 versus P2: two workflows, one hybrid platform
The P1 is aimed at solo creators, with one Mic/Line input, one instrument input, a single preamp and an Auto Gain function that automatically optimises recording levels for beginners. The P2 targets dual-person setups and more demanding productions, with two Mic/Line/Instrument combo inputs, dual preamps, both 3.5mm and 6.35mm headphone outputs, and an additional USB power input for independent power supply during mobile recording. Both models connect directly to cameras and phones via 3.5mm outputs, with the P2 adding a dedicated phone jack alongside its camera output.
Maono, which says it is trusted by more than six million users across 154 countries, positions the P Series as a way to lower the barrier to professional audio production for podcasters, streamers, musicians and mobile creators who need dependable hybrid connectivity rather than a traditional desktop interface. More information on the full range is available on the official Maono website. Readers who followed the brand’s recent PD500W hybrid microphone launch will recognise the same hybrid philosophy applied here to interfaces rather than microphones.
Pricing and availability
The Maono P Series is available now on Amazon US and via the Maono website, priced at $129.99. Amazon US currently lists both the P1 and P2 on offer for $99.99.
